and D FOR DEMOCRATIC, INCREDIBLE !NDIA
Indian Parliamentary elections, much respected and most maligned, are scheduled to be held in stages between 7 April and 12 May, with counting day on 16 May, when the final results will be announced.
I see a lot of turmoil whenever India holds elections. This is extraordinary compared to the average election, as generally known in other democratic countries. Each election campaign exceeds the previous one in violence and confusion, but nothing has surpassed this year. Each election sees an increasing number of parties in contention, such that no single party has won a governing majority in many years; coalition government has become a given.
According to the Election Commission, there are 814.5 million eligible voters this year, 100 million more than during the last election (by comparison, there are about 207.65 million eligible voters in the United States). There will undoubtedly be chaos, disorganisation, mistakes, and a lof of cheating.
And yet, in its own maddening way, India is still the world’s largest democracy; isn’t that a remarkable thing in the polity of mankind?

Today in ABCD [AAP / BJP / Congress] ,
i like the very simple statement you have
presented of a multi tiered phenomenon and the very impt points you have
highlighted. i like the 3 images too and the way your compositions have changed
the very nature of these parties.
The light on the brooms takes away the stridency of AAP
The soft petals temper the fundamentalism of bjp
and the somewhat misshapen palm is a contrast to the slap
like hardness of the congress symbol making it look hopeless and hapless.
